Association between biofilm formation phenotype and clonal lineage in Staphylococcus aureus strains from bone and joint infections.

Association between biofilm formation phenotype and clonal lineage in Staphylococcus aureus strains from bone and joint infections.

Biofilm formation is a critical virulence factor responsible for treatment failure and chronicity in orthopaedic device-related infections (ODIs) caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Clonal lineages differ in terms of their biofilm forming capacities. The aim of this study was to investigate the correla...
